Eric Pennington Poems

Let not anyone tell you how you feel,
Because those feelings are not real.
You tell someone, 'I think I love him'
They say, 'Do you know how long it's been? '
...

Why do I fall into 'like' so fast?
Have I not learned from my past?
I start talking to a girl, think she is pretty
Here's where it begins to go bad, I start to get giddy.
...

The sands of time are a torturous device.
We have a trial period in order to suffice.
The feeling of love is set on a time limit.
You must be 1 for this long to have it.
...

What I want from you is nothing more than love.
I don't think that is too much to ask of.
You've given me all I could ever ask for.
And for this, you are the one I adore.
...

Without emotion, my day would be routine,
Everyday, it would all be the same thing.
Without emotion, we would lose out on so much,
Like the feeling I get, when I feel your sweet touch.
...

I am of a rare breed.
I wonder how many others are like me.
Who will do anything to be loved,
But fails, and falls from above.
...

Have you ever took a shot in the dark?
Hoping that something you did would hit the mark?
Maybe the right sequence of words will do the trick?
I will never be the one she would pick.
...

You cannot see my pain because you don't know me...
This pain should be non existent, it's because of me...
I put my heart into something I knew that would never work out...
I should have known better to have even tried, I already knew the turnout...
...

I throw my line out, my heart for bait.
I get nibbles, but none of them ever take.
Each cast the hook digging deeper, so deep.
The pain is so great, I can only weep.
...

Sometimes you have to give things a chance.
Get off the ground, dust the blood and dirt from your pants.
Though your heart may grow callused and sore,
Don't ever give up, but ask for more.
...
